The Crabstock Boys – demonstrating and selling seasonal seafoods.

The Piazza

Hungry on the day? The Piazza is a truly international food experience – buy, eat and enjoy: from Thai noodles to the good old British hotdog! This is a relaxed area of the showground where you can eat, drink, and watch the world go by!
